Freed From Desire¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Rodriguez⁽³⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 81

11/4

The only winner in the field her win at Redcar owed much to her experience but she's found it hard with a penalty since. She did show improved form returned to her winning C&D though last time; should still be competitive despite giving weight away.

Beechwood Ella²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: T Hamilton| T: K Dalgleish

7/1

Half-sister to three winners she showed her inexperience on debut (7f, good to firm) but looked as though the outing would prove beneficial. Her debut was solid rather than spectacular but she should be able to show more here.

Form: 4

Clonard Abbey²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: J Fanning| T: G Elliott

18/1

Just one outing to her name so far and in that she looked as though the run was not only needed but that she would be one for the longer term. Made some late headway there and this 7f will suit better but much more needed.

Hunterwali¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: A Mullen| T: M Dods

50/1

Yard ticking over with their juveniles this year but she showed only how green she was on her debut at Thirsk (7f good to soft). Slowly away she may have leant something but only beat one rival and likely to need this experience also.

Form: 0

Katiejay

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: G Lee| T: K A Ryan

12/1

Yard a little below-par with their juveniles this year (four first time out winners) and their last 19 debutantes have all been beaten. This daughter of War Command cost 40,000 guineas as a yearling out of a maiden dam and may need this run.

Mistress Of Love

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P J McDonald| T: K R Burke

2/5

By Scat Daddy out of a Ghostzapper mare she cost $1m as a yearling. Trainer is 3-35 with his juvenile debutantes this year (2-9 with debutantes here last five years) and given her purchase price she worth noting in the market.

Oh Yes Please²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods

33/1

Second runner in the race for the trainer but she showed about as much as her stablemate (Hunterwali) on debut at Doncaster over 7f. Slowly away she was always behind (ran green) and will have to come on for that run to figure.

Form: 9

(4)

Royal Countess

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Jamie Gormley⁽³⁾| T: Mrs L B Normile

100/1

Newcomer from a yard that are hardly known for winning juveniles let alone those on debut. First two year old runner of the season for the stable and likely to need the experience.

Mistress Of Love (2/5), Freed From Desire (11/4), Beechwood Ella (7/1), Katiejay (12/1), Clonard Abbey (18/1), Oh Yes Please (33/1), Hunterwali (50/1), Royal Countess (100/1)

Trainer Keith Dalgleish has a good record in this race winning it in 2015/16 and having the second and third last year. His representative this year Beechwood Ella may not be able to put him back on the winning trail in this race but she may improve enough to gain a minor place after a debut that showed some promise. Freed From Desire is the obvious danger to the rest of the field here having already won a race and carried her penalty with distinction in two outings since then going close last time. However, the well-bred and expensively bought newcomer MISTRESS OF LOVE who also has a Group 2 entry catches the eye here in what is an ordinary contest.
